The color of passion

I am an artist, a mother of two and a six-and-a-half-year breast cancer survivor. Art and creativity have always been a part of my life, but after my diagnosis I found a renewed passion for expressing my feelings through art.

One of the lessons I learned from cancer was the need for balance. Balance of work, rest, play and exercise.

Throughout the past 6 ½ years I have met so many women with cancer, helping a friend or loved one with cancer, all working together to fight this disease. "Sisters in Survival" is a mixed-media collage on canvas and is a tribute to this ongoing valiant effort.

In 2008, I became a contributor to a blog made up of mothers who were cancer survivors. Not have to deal not only with the effects of cancer on us, but also its impact on our children. "Mothers with Cancer" pays homage to this group and is also a mixed-media collage on canvas.
